| | | VANCOUVER: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, finished 12th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Willie Desjardins, first season with the Canucks.
ADDED: C Nick Bonino, LW Derek Dorsett, G Ryan Miller, D Luca Sbisa, RW Radim Vrbata.
LOST: RW Zac Dalpe, D Jason Garrison, C Ryan Kesler, C Mike Santorelli, C Jordan Schroeder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ryan Miller. On June 29, 2013, the Canucks had a goaltending tandem of Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider. When Vancouver's season ended 288 days later, the duo in net was Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom after Schneider and Luongo were traded. In a combined 45 games with Vancouver, Lack and Markstrom were 17-19-5 with a 2.39 goals against average and .908 save percentage. Miller, who was signed to a three-year, $18 million free agent deal, has a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage the last four seasons.
OUTLOOK: The dismissals of coach John Tortorella and Kesler, traded to Anaheim, can be seen as addition by subtraction. Kesler's in-season trade request became a distraction for a team whose 2013-14 campaign was an unmitigated failure. So the Canucks can do nothing but improve in 2014-15. Will there be enough improvement to qualify for a playoff berth? That may be too much to ask for a team in the tough Western Conference. | | CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-40-7, 77 points, finished 13th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Bob Hartley, fourth season with Calgary, 383-291-61-45 overall.
ADDED: LW Brandon Bollig, D Deryk Engelland, G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Raymond.
LOST: D Chris Butler, LW Mike Cammalleri.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Johnny Gaudreau. Offense was a major issue for the Flames, who finished 23rd and 24th, respectively, in goals per game (2.46) and power play percentage (15.7). Gaudreau, the reigning Hobey Baker winner, recorded 80 points (36 goals and 44 assists) in 40 games with Boston College.
OUTLOOK: With the possible exception of John Tortorella, who attempted to fight his way into the Calgary dressing room during the first intermission of a Jan. 18 game in Vancouver to ostensibly express his displeasure about a line brawl following the opening faceoff, Hartley and the Flames earned praise around the NHL for their hardworking style of play. Even with the addition of Gaudreau and friends to the lineup, don't expect the Flames to change their modus operandi. But it's too much to ask the Flames to compete for a playoff berth. |

*Canucks-Flames Preview* ========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Vancouver At Calgary, Game Three, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Henrik Sedin remembers well the incident between his Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames on Jan. 18, 2014.
Flames coach Bob Hartley put his fourth line on the ice for the opening faceoff. Then-Canucks coach John Tortorella countered with his enforcers. A line brawl ensued two seconds after puck drop, Tortorella was suspended for trying to enter Calgary's dressing room during the first intermission and Hartley was fined $25,000.
Fast forward to Game 2 on Friday, when Vancouver's series-tying 4-1 victory featured six fighting majors, seven game misconducts and three 10-minute misconducts - many of which were earned during a brawl with just over a minute remaining in the contest. This time, Hartley was fined $50,000 for his responsibility in that brawl.
"We knew they were going to try something. They've tried it before," Sedin said. "I'm sure it's going to happen again. That's part of it. We move onto the next game."
As the series shifts to Calgary for Game 3 on Sunday night, the Canucks are trying to take the focus off the unfortunate events that overshadowed their victory. Daniel Sedin, Chris Higgins, Ronalds Kenins and Radim Vrbata scored as Vancouver avoided an NHL-record eighth consecutive home playoff defeat.
"Regardless of what people are talking about, we got a big win," defenseman Kevin Bieksa said. "We got a win where we felt like we outplayed them for the whole game."
The Flames, who in Game 1 earned a 2-1 victory on Kris Russell's goal with 30 seconds remaining, acknowledge that the frustration over their impending defeat boiled over. That doesn't mean they regret how things played out.
"Obviously we weren't happy with the score at the time. We got involved and there was a scrum and it escalated," forward Brandon Bollig said. "You have to send a message somehow. We play a tough game. We're a hard-working team."
Calgary now prepares for the club's first home playoff game since losing Game 6 to Chicago in the first round in 2009. The Flames went 4-0-2 at the Saddledome to end the regular season and snapped a four-game home losing streak to Vancouver with a 3-2 win Feb. 14.
"I don't think any of us are going to back down. Neither team is," Flames forward Matt Stajan said. "We play scrappy. We've got to battle back. That wasn't good enough from our team. We stick together here and we regroup altogether and use our crowd next game and try to get a win."
The Canucks feel like they're ready for anything Calgary throws at them.
"The hard hitting, the stuff at the end (of Game 2), it was like old-time hockey," forward Bo Horvat said. "It was a physical game, nobody was holding back and we are expecting the same thing in Game 3. We're going to have to be prepared."
Vancouver has lost six of its last seven road playoff games and dropped its final two of the regular season. The Canucks haven't led a postseason series since winning the first two of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final before losing to Boston in seven games.
Including that series, they had lost 11 of 12 overall in the playoffs before Friday's win. Eddie Lack made 22 saves after stopping 28 shots in his first career postseason game Wednesday.
Jonas Hiller made 29 saves in a solid effort for the Flames in Game 1, but he was pulled with roughly six minutes remaining in Game 2 after allowing his third goal. Karri Ramo stopped both shots he faced, but Hiller should get the start in Game 3.
